If you, like me, have problems with binary attachments in pGnus being
encoded as quoted printable instead of in base64, this may help you.

Just insert this into your .gnus:

(defun mm-qp-or-base64 () 'base64)

This will effectively disable pGnus' (apparently broken) heuristics to
determine whether a file is binary, and always choose base64
encoding. Unfortunately, "text/*" attachments will then also be base64
encoded. On the other hand, "message/rfc822" attachments are
unaffected.

This does not fix the underlying problem, but should merely be
regarded as a workaround.

HTH.
